arc not nearly as many OatboatS In this vicinity

Is that the waters Of the inner bay haye been

not SO available for open sea sailing as sloops

June, 1888, at Indianapolis. Prof.
Dckey announced that he would re-
sign at once his position in Albion
College. devoting his entire time to
politics. He guarantees $4,000 an

fact that the women of the North and

in the evening on several occasions,
and that Swain remained in the house
until the next morning. They were

A HOST OF INTERVIEWS.
Opinion of CongresS,ncn on Ma.
tiOnai Questions.

WASHINGTON, November 30.-The
Post prints tomorrow 6. series OF in
terviews with nearly hundred men,
b,rs OF Congress ON questions to be
presented during the coming session,
particularly the tariff, reduction of the
surplus revenue and the postal tele-
graph. Speaker Carlisle believes in
the immediate reduction of the sur
plus revenues; also, the reduction of
the taxes producing these revenues, at
least SO, 0O0,O 900 annually. The sem
timent oil the Northwestern Con-
gre smen shows that the free
trade sentiment is growing in
that section. Many Republicans
agree that something must be done
with the tariff. Many ways Of reduc-
ing the surplus are suggested. Quite
number OF Congressman, including
representatives OF Mississippi, lndi-
ana, Kentucky and Texas, favor a
compromise such rs taking the tariff
off tobacco. They prefer reducing the
tax on fruit brandies and the propsi-
ton to take the tax off whisky hardly
finds support crs. Louisianlans say
that their state is divided. The north
ern portion favors free sugar and the
Cult section oppo es it. Democrats
favor adding to the list salt, lumber
and the necessaries of lie. Repre-
sentative Bynum of Indiana, thinks
that the tariff could be passed without
Randall's support.
GOVERNMENT TELEGRAPHs.
Views on the postal telegraph are
diverse and interesting. WhilthorDe
OF tennessee, thinks that the Govern
ment can support telegraph system
the same Us postal system, begin
ming with wires between the cities.
jackson of Pennsylvania, Blown OF
Indiana and Whitney Of Michigan,
favor the project. Thomas of illinois,
and Walker, Stone and Wade of
Michigan, also favor Government tele-
graphs. Woodburn of Nevada, ia
vors the Governments buying
the existing lines instead of start.
ing new ones. Hutton of Missouri,
Wise of Virginia, Merriman of New
York and number Of others think
the Government ought not to increase
the civil list by $4,000 telegraph
operators. All OF the Congre ,smen
however, think that strong pressure
will be made to bring the matter be-
fore the present Congress.
Not single douot is expressed by
either Republicans or Democrats as
to the denomination of President
Cleveland. Republican Congressman
usually favor Blaine, though Sherman

CINCINNATI, November 30.-In the
trial of E. l.. Harper to-day the first
witness was j. w. Hoyt, broker Of
this city, whose testimony gave in de.
tail numerous transactions in the buy
ing of wheat in Chicago by him. When
asked for whom he was acting, he an
swered that B. T.. Hopkins. assistant
cashier OF the Fidelity Bank, made
the purchases, and the settlements
were always made by f. L. Harper.
These transactions began in January
last. Hoyt said that Hopkins gave
him checks signed by himself, and
with these he purchased of the ex-
change clerk OF the Fidelity Bank a
draft and letters of advice in favor OF
Irwin Green & Co., and G. j. Ker-
shaw d Co., Chicago. The day after
the wheat market broke he went to
the Exchange National Bank, Chi
cago, and met there Wiltshire, Ker-
shaw, Irwin and several bank officials.
He received two drafts of $780, 900
each, executed by the Fidelity Ma
tional Bank. He had no personal
transactions with Harper.
Kershaw's test mony was limited to
identifying checks and drafts sent him
by Hoyt and the Fidelity Bank. He
said that he had no transaction with
Harper, everything being done
through Hoyt u Co. and Wiltshire,
Eckert q Co.
Monroe, manager OF the Bank OF
Montreal at Chicago, testified that
Irwin Green deposited in June last
two drafts of 500, 900, drawn by the
Fidelity National Bank upon the
Chemical National Bank of New York.
Payment was stopped.

& Co., testified that he had made
purchases of wheat for Hoyt to the
extent of 100000 bushels. Hoyt
gave security for Il part in drafts and
letters of advice from the Fidelity
stating that the amount of money de-
posted there to his credit was over
500, 900.
Eckert, of the firm OF Wiltshire, Eek
ert & Co., of Cincinnati, testified tc
the deals with Kershaw & Co.. and
other Chicago firms, from January last
to June. He sent about 81 ,000, 900 tc
Kershaw & Co He said that he coulC
not tell where he got the money ex
actly, but supposed it was from parties
in the wheat deal. When the calls
were made he. went to the Fidelity
bank and gave out checks, although
he had not the amount that he wrote
the checks for in the bank.
Wiltshire identified checks aggregat
ing 81 800, 900 drawn by Wiltshire ant
endorsed by Wiltshire, Eckert & Co
Either himself or Eckert endorsed the
checks. The understanding between
him and Harper was that the check:
should be protected. He acted a:
